Most Disliked
Some guests find that the food quality does not reach five-star standards; however, many argue that it's exactly what a casual dining experience should offer. A few have noted that while the atmosphere is cozy, it may feel bustling during peak hours, which could detract from a peaceful dining experience. Occasionally, food availability for certain dishes can be limited, especially during busy times. A handful of reviews mention that although the restaurant is lovely, there can be times when service might slow down.
In the end, these minor flaws rarely overshadow the overall positive experience that Oscar's consistently delivers. After all, where else can you enjoy a show with your meal and walk away content without a heavy price tag?

Food was not 5 star, though for me and my family it was exactly what the doctor ordered: generous portions, good tasting fare and, ....the price was very reasonable. Most of all, the chef and his daughter were so friendly, that we had a good natter with them were he explained some of the acts and singers performing there at times. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Btw, a bottle of wine was included within the total price of £48.- feeding 4 of us! Thank You, Chef

Me and my friend took our little girls after a play date and had a lovely variety on the kids menu for them and the paninis were delicious, as we're the chips! Atmosphere was great and staff were so lovely and smiley to our little girls as well! We will be back regularly I think :)

Awesome little cafe. The breakfasts are amazing and I love all the things on the walls. If you've never been, it's worth going just to see the place.

Just want to say how much our group ( front table) enjoyed our evenings entertainment for the Boy George/Pink Elvis night. A first visit for many of us... we thoroughly enjoyed the tribute act.. from make up.. clothes..voice.. sharp wit and sheer professionalism. We were up and dancing from the word go.. even doing the boy George conga outside onto the bricks of Newcastle Town!!! May I also say how lovely the home cooked food was... the ambience and hard work to provide a seamless nights enjoyment.... Oscars is a unique establishment.. much more personable..nothing like the cattle market venues that serve poor quality food on mass...over inflated bar prices and naff disco. Probably one of the best Christmas parties I've had the pleasure to attend in over 30 years! Thank you Oscars!! We'll be back in a few months. Xxx
